Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has announced the formation of a steering group to prepare the state’s application to host the proposed U.S. Space Academy. NASA is seeking input from states interested in sponsoring the academy, focusing on criteria such as infrastructure, community support, and partnerships.
DeWine emphasized Ohio’s strengths in aerospace and national security, citing the state’s historical significance in aviation and its current assets, including Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and NASA’s Glenn Research Center. The governor believes Ohio has the resources and capabilities necessary to enhance space research, education, and national security through the academy.
